3v Claims.

My invention relates to a hair net,'and particularly to a net for ladieshair, having ends brought around the back of the neck and secured at thefront center. Among the purposes and objects are:

To provide a hair net which gathers the hair at the back into thecrossed ends, and when secured at the front, gives the effect of aturban.

A hair net which will not disturb the hair do.

A hair net having elastic loop ends to engage a button at the frontcenter.

A hair net having bifurcated ends.

I accomplish these and other objects by the construction hereindescribed and shown in the accompanying drawing forming: a part hereof,in which:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of my hair net with the elastic side members undertension.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the assembled hair net ready foruse.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the application of my device.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout theseveral views of the drawing and in the specifications to follow.

I am aware that hair nets have been knitted and woven having the ends ofthe elastic marginal edges gathered and secured to provide the necessaryfullness, when the tension of the elastic edges are released, to form acap with elastic edges. Such hair nets are expanded sufliciently to slipover the head and hair to hold the hair in place.

With long hair, difliculty is experienced with the ordinary hair net ingathering the hair at the back to come within the confines of the hairnet, and at best the hair do is mussed and flattened.

By the use of my hair net the hair is automatically gathered into thefullness of the ends as they are crossed at the back and when the endsare secured at the front center, the hair is neatly held and the addedfullness of both the ends and crown portion the hair do is not flatteneddown and disturbed.

The turban effect of the swirl of the gathered ends not only providesfullness for the front hair but also presents pleasing appearance at thefront of the hair net.

Referring to the drawing and particularly to Fig. 1, I have shown thematerial of the hair net as it would appear with the side marginal edgesI stretched so that the elastic side members 2 and 3 and the strips ofrubber or the like attached in the knitted structure are under tensionas. they are during the process of manufac time. In broken lines I haveshown the outline of. the hair net after releasing the tension of'the.members 2 and 3' and brought together at the top under the fastener orbutton 4 and at the bottom in the fasteners or elastic loops 5 and 6.

Midway between the side marginal edges l, I. have shown the two selvagefinished edges 1 and 8 secured to each other by the cross stitches 9which continue throughout the length of the material while in theprocess of manufacture. The stitches 9, however, are severed for asubstantial distance from the bottom upwardly to the point I0, therebyforming the two separate wing pieces H and I2.

At the top, the elastic members 2 and 3, as well as the selvage,finished edges 1 and 8 and the top edge l3 of the mesh I4 of the hairnet are gathered together and twisted to form aswirl I5, all beingsecured at the center under the button 4.

At the bottom, the elastic member 2, the selvage finished edge 7 and thebottom edge l6 of the mesh H are gathered at the side and secured to theelastic loop 5, thereby formingthe wing piece I I. Likewise the wingpiece I2 is formed by securing the elastic member 3, the selvage edge 8and the bottom edge I! are all gathered at and secured to the elasticloop 6.

Stitches l8 or other securing means may be provided to secure the partsat the top together at the top center and stitches or other securingmeans I 9 and. 20 may secure the gathered bottom parts together underthe loops 5 and 5 to form the wing pieces II and I2.

The elastic parallel edges 2 and 3, as may be seen in Fig. 1, areprovided with the usual covered rubber or other elastic materialcommonly used in the manufacture of hair nets. The rubber or the likemay be knitted into and thus secured to the edges 2 and 3 in numerousways, depending on the density of the mesh and the thickness of thethreads of the hair net. The selvage edges 1 and 8 are parallel to eachother and parallel to the elastic marginal edges and disposed midwaytherebetween.

In wearing my hair net, the wing pieces H and I2 are crossed at the backof the neck and the elastic loops 5 and 6 are brought around to thefront to engage the button '4.

The construction is herein described in detail to make my invention moreeasily understood. I do not wish, however, to be limited to thisdetailed construction, as those skilled in the art of hair nets, after astudy of this disclosure, may see that the details maybe modifiedwithout depart- 1. In a hair net comprising mesh material having elasticparallel side edges, 21. pair of selvage edges disposed at each side .ofthe longitudinal centerline of said material and having stitchesunitingsaid selvage edges a substantial distance along said selvageedges, wing pieces having parallel sides, one of said sides being acontinua-- tionof said elastic parallel side edges and the other of saidparallel sides of said wing pieces being a continuation of one of saidselvage edges beyond said stitches, said wing pieces dispos ed wheresaid selvage edges are not united.

2; In a hair net formed of materialhafving a: net like mesh and parallelelastic marginaledges,

a pair of selvage edges connectedby crossstiths between said selvageedges, said selvage edges be- 20 thematerial and one of each of theselvage edges ing disposed between and parallel to said elastic marginaledges, wing pieces at one end of said, material; said selvage edgesforming marginal, edges of said wing pieces for a part of the length":V.-'Ic onnectingsaid selvage edges for a distancebetween the ends ofthe material of said "hair net,"a'nd means securing each one of the ofsaid material of said hair net, the remaining part of said hair nethaving said cross stitches connecting said selvage edges for asubstantial distance between the ends of the material of said hair net.

3. In a hair net formed of material having a net like mesh and parallelelastic marginal edges, a pair of selvage edges connected by crossstitches between said selvage edges, said selvage edges being disposedbetween and parallel to said elastic marginaledges, wing pieces at oneend of said material, said selvage edges forming marginal eldges of saidwing pieces for a part of the length a of .said materialof said hairnet, the remaining of said hair net having said cross stitchessubstantial elasti'cedges and one of each bottom endedge of to form theendof one of each of said wing pieces.
